Why do we love Vintage, notes and queries 2 of 4

Quirky originals; cut and construction.

My husband loves vintage clothing as well but has no interest in what era they come from, he just thinks they are more interesting and better made then modern clothes. He still runs in horrid modern running kit though, cotton chafes the nipples, and plimsolls are just no good. I notice that a lot of my clients also really like tattoos, is it that vintage and ink are about a form of radical self expression? For me as a super self conscious teen I loved the way 1940s dresses were both modest and sexy. I wore mine chopped short with DM boots. I felt comfortable and right in those dresses in a way I never really did in modern late 1980s clothes.
